Tips

Give the grade to the calmer parent, but don't be surprised if they tell your other parent.

Warnings

Do not hide, lose or throw out the grade. This equals worse punishment when they find out.

Do not show them in the morning or late at night; this will make them more angry. This is because your parents will think that you are taking advantage of the short period of time in which they cannot do anything about it.
